Please, stop defend him, he's the worst pro player in the whole scene.
Every team has supports, every team has players that are put in the worst positions... Only TACO is THAT bad.
He's rating is low, he isn't good at clucthing or entering
It's 2020, roles are no longer excuses for bad players, everyone in the team has to frag if they wanna win.
kick taco ffs

unfortunately usually ppl who are better at fragging are worse at being team player and the other way around. they are all humans. if they were all perfect then the game wouldnt be interesting. and btw taco isnt that bad at aim, when he played in liquid he actually showed some games where he can shoot enemies, he just usually gets job of being decoy and awp dropper on T side and on CT he plays B on most maps.
on B on dust2 or mirage you either get 3-4 kills and look amazing or you get 0 and die. it is the same for everyone who plays these positions, for example styko in mouse got a lot of shit for it but what do you expect him to do? get 3k every time he is pushed in 1v5 by pistols? often it is harder to hit players rushing with pistols than when they have guns and stop to shoot back.

godsent have been climbing up in rank, i think they can keep that up for a bit and then maybe they can either look at replacing krystal and maikelele or the other 3 players can get picked up by good teams for a decent payout and krystal and maikel can find a couple more young guys to teach them a bit about the game, they can take kind of a hunden role in the scene if they want

Styko is mechanically a way better fragger than Taco, i beleive Chrisj does the same level of sacrifice for the team, yet manages to clutch crucial rounds, entry frag, secondary awp and also igling on a partial level. I think even rpk does kind of support role for Vitality, he is mechanically quite underrated and one of the least vocal members of the team. A support player is supposed to be useful, not a liability to the team. Even if he outnumbered 1v2 on a clutch situation but have a favourable angle he should deliver, it looks like he still doesn't. The guy just has a good rapport with the mibr team and management, i dont see any t1 org apart from mibr considering him.

yeah ppl say rpk is bad because he does sometimes miss some easy shots but overall he has really solid performance with rifles and the amount of work he does for a team that is not immediately visible is really big. he throws good grenades.
in engagements with multiple players of both teams he creates massive amounts of space for his teammates to play with. that makes it much easier for the other guys to get kills. so even if he gets a bad KD in a game i usually feel like he was very important to winning it. and when he does get kills on top of doing all that work its even better.
>i dont see any t1 org apart from mibr considering him.
well idk if you can call liquid a tier 1 org, they are/were top tier in NA at least and they picked taco up.

And they left him after to switch with stewie, and started looking better from there placing top 2 against astralis shortly after. No offense both taco and stewie whine a lot in twitter, but atleast stewie can back it up with team victories, taco is kind of overrated even after all that flame against him. Like even support players have breakout plays once in a while, one instance where he steps up and carries the full team. With taco thats not gonna happen.

csgo meta with supports died in 2018
now everyone needs to have gamesense, use grenades, follow a certain strat and shoot well
taco has the gamesense of a 7 years old and can't fight a t1 player' deagle while using a rifle.

at tier 1 deagle is stronger than rifle in a lot of situations, higher accuracy, 1 shot headshot, high dps even with body shots, 2 hits to kill to body at close range, dont need to do spray control.
i sometimes wonder why dont they buy deagles on ct for long range fights when they have m4 and a lot of money in bank, in older cs games ppl often got deagle for secondary if they could afford it, even if it was just so you can spam 7 more big bullets after you run out of ammo on rifle. in source deagle was literally better than every rifle.

it is not just reliable for headshots. a tag even at long range anywhere on the body does 25% of hp damage, 33% at mid range, 50% at short range. you only need a few fast peeks and tags to get a player low. when you combo 1 guy with $700 deagle and 1 guy with $1700 scout, together they can oneshot enemies to the body at long range, while the other players individually have spent more on their short range fully automatic rifle than these 2 low eco players together spent on their wombo combo long range killing machine. and its the rifle players who have to commit to spraydowns with their automatic weapons, deagle and scout can go for fast peeks and minimize their exposure
obviously if youre going to 1v1 people then yeah you need headshots at long range. but they arent required to win rounds with deags. even in pro games you see a lot of eco rounds won with deags just because a whole team runs out on 1 site together and they all tag the enemies together and spam deagle, if you have 5*7 bullets you will probably be able to get a kill on 2 CTs defending. they do aim for the head but if they dont hit it they can still win

case in point
this wasnt exceptional deagle rng, when you spam at exactly this speed while crouched its actually relatively accurate and the bullets do so much damage

also hes only getting kills cuz of SG, every1 knows what happens when they nerf this weapon, taco doesnt have confidence on his aim, how many times have u seen taco doing dumb things or playing like a bot? how many times you were watching taco playing and when he was supposed to peek and get a free kill he doesnt?...he stands there doing nothing while his whole team were dying... wait until SG's nerf and ppl gonna hate him alot more..

I agree. In 2020 the main issue in MIBR is the lack of T rounds, mostly beacuse the tactics are bad or non existent at all.
Fallen needs to improve his IGL or find a new one for the team. Thtat is the main problem.
TACO is not that good obviously, but he does his role very well.

also karrigan and fallen arent the same person..they are 2 different team with 2 different playstyle. you cant compare two different team's support's playstyle...
chrisj does drop guns but it doesnt make him real support... he is the 2nd awper of the team, also an entry fragger in few maps... on the other hand taco is used like a travel bag.
he is more like sanji but better.
so just focus on blaming fallen for not getting his shit together instead of blaming taco.

Fallen is a legendary igl...u know that i know that everybody knows that. but he is slacking a lot recently right ? he picking players left and right making roster out of toaster...
right now .. if u ask if karrgian and glave could do better with the brazilian talents. i would say 120% they could do better.

TACO was second awper for MIBR at one point.
What do you mean by travel bag?
SANJI always play rifle without kevlar/ or deagle just to drop awp to Jame, and he is expected to lose the aim duel but he won some of them which is remarkable.
TACO was a good support years ago because he was baiting for Cold years ago, but stop living in the past, time has changed, you won't win any champions when only 4 players in the team performing and others just lost lots of aim duel when they are expected to win.

"roles are no longer excuses for bad players, everyone in the team has to frag."
Could have said that about the -aleksib +sunNy move. And yes, depending on the role the player has, it is an excuse.
Plus the fact that taco has always been the bait player for mibr, there's a reason they've kept him around.

the problem is, how many times have u seen taco doing really dumb things? hes only getting kills nowadays cuz of SG, every1 knows what happens when they nerf this weapon, taco doesnt have confidence on his aim...

He is very weak and inconsistent, there is no excuses for being a "support" or "entry" for his rating cus they are roles that EVERYONE on the team needs to knows. That roles changes in game due to some stituations, granades that u have, life, map position, respawn and etc... They are a fkn excuse for bad players, and taco is totally horrible.

What people don't seem to understand is: go to a bombsite jumping like a retarded trying to gather information IS NOT THE ROLE OF A ENTRYFRAGGER. literally every other pro player in the world can do that... just put some more skilled guy to do the same shit that TACO does and he will do better

+1, TACO one of the worst and most toxic players (I don't remember vs who but it happened few months ago, maybe on major? He had like ~30 frags or more on inferno vs good team and he was shouting like a monkey every kill, just like tarik. Both are noobs and shouting to enemy when theyre having a good game (once a year)
btw, he lost that game and was very quiet after lose

I mean, obviously its not only teamplay, but fallen used to kick players before them get used to their team and their tactics, but with taco is different no idea why, he wasnt supposed to join back mibr after liquid and also they shouldnt bring a second main sniper to their team, they lose a lot of firepower.
